Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp.
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023 and 2022
(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as noted and per share amounts)
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“AQN” or the “Company”) is an incorporated entity under the Canada Business Corporations Act. AQN's operations are organized across two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The Regulated Services Group owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater collection, and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Renewable Energy Group owns and operates, or has investments in, a diversified portfolio of non-regulated renewable and thermal energy generation assets.
1.Significant accounting policies
(a)Basis of preparation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and follow disclosure required under Regulation S-X provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim operations.
The significant accounting policies applied to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of AQN are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of AQN as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(b)Seasonality
AQN's operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that could materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and, thus, one quarter's operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. Where decoupling mechanisms exist, total volumetric revenue is prescribed by the applicable regulatory authority and is not affected by usage. AQN's electrical distribution utilities can experience higher or lower demand in the summer or winter depending on the specific regional weather and industry characteristics. AQN’s water and wastewater utility assets’ revenues fluctuate depending on the demand for water, which is normally higher during drier and hotter months of the summer. During the winter period, natural gas distribution utilities generally experience higher demand than during the summer period. AQN’s hydroelectric energy assets are primarily “run-of-river” and, as such, fluctuate with the natural water flows. During the winter and summer periods, flows are generally slower, while during the spring and fall periods flows are heavier. For AQN's wind energy assets, wind resources are typically stronger in spring, fall and winter, and weaker in summer. AQN's solar energy assets generally experience greater insolation in summer, weaker in winter.
(c)Foreign currency translation
AQN’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Within these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company denotes any amounts denominated in Canadian dollars with “C$”, in Chilean pesos with "CLP" and in Chilean Unidad de Fomento with "CLF" immediately prior to the stated amount.
2.     Recently issued accounting pronouncements
(a)Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
The FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which require that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. See note 21(c) for details.
(b)Recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted

The FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method — a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force, which permits a reporting entity, if certain conditions are met, to elect to account for its tax equity investments by using the proportional amortization method regardless of the program from which it receives income tax credits. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the applicability and potential impact of the new guidance.

3.Business acquisition
Kentucky Power Company and AEP Kentucky Transmission Company, Inc.
On October 26, 2021, Liberty Utilities Co., an indirect subsidiary of AQN, entered into an agreement (the “Kentucky Acquisition Agreement”) with American Electric Power Company, Inc. (“AEP”) and AEP Transmission Company, LLC to acquire Kentucky Power Company and AEP Kentucky Transmission Company, Inc. (the “Kentucky Power Transaction”). On April 17, 2023, Liberty Utilities Co. mutually agreed with AEP and AEP Transmission Company, LLC to terminate the Kentucky Acquisition Agreement. The Company is assessing whether costs incurred in preparation for the Kentucky Power Transaction should be written-off. The Company has not finalized the assessment.
4.Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2023 include unbilled revenue of $108,418 (December 31, 2022 - $149,015) from the Company’s regulated utilities. Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2023 are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $27,954 (December 31, 2022 - $24,857).
5.Regulatory matters
The operating companies within the Regulated Services Group are subject to regulation by the respective jurisdictions in which they operate. The respective Regulators have jurisdiction with respect to rate, service, accounting policies, issuance of securities, acquisitions and other matters. Except for ESSAL, these utilities operate under cost-of-service regulation as administered by these authorities. The Company’s regulated utility operating companies are accounted for under the principles of ASC 980, Regulated Operations. Under ASC 980, regulatory assets and liabilities that would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities are recorded to the extent that they represent incurred charges or credits that are probable of being recovered from or refunded to customers through the rate setting process.
At any given time, the Company can have several regulatory proceedings underway. The financial effects of these proceedings are reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements based on regulatory approval obtained to the extent that there is a financial impact during the applicable reporting period. The following regulatory proceedings were recently completed:

Common shares, end of period688,592,052 674,110,190 
On August 15, 2022, AQN re-established an at-the-market equity program (“ATM Program”) that allows the Company to issue up to $500,000 (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) of common shares from treasury to the public from time to time, at the Company’s discretion, at the prevailing market price when issued on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or any other existing trading market for the common shares of the Company in Canada or the United States.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not issue common shares under the ATM Program. As of May 10, 2023, the Company has issued, since the inception of its initial ATM Program in 2019, a cumulative total of 36,814,536 common shares at an average price of $15.00 per share for gross proceeds of $551,086 ($544,295 net of commissions). Other related costs, primarily related to the establishment and subsequent re-establishments of the ATM Program, were $4,843.
Dividend reinvestment plan
The Company has a common shareholder dividend reinvestment plan, which, when the plan is active, provides an opportunity for holders of AQN’s common shares who reside in Canada, the United States, or, subject to AQN’s consent, other jurisdictions, to reinvest the cash dividends paid on their common shares in additional common shares which, at AQN’s election, are either purchased on the open market or newly issued from treasury. Effective March 3, 2022, common shares purchased under the plan were issued at a 3% discount (previously at 5%) to the prevailing market price (as determined in accordance with the terms of the plan). During the three months ended March 31, 2023, AQN issued 4,370,289 common shares under the dividend reinvestment plan. Effective March 16, 2023, AQN suspended the dividend reinvestment plan. Dividends will only be paid in cash while the reinvestment plan is suspended.
(b)Share-based compensation
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, AQN recorded $696 (2022 - $(365)) in total share-based compensation expense (recovery). The compensation expense is recorded with payroll expenses in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations. The portion of share-based compensation costs capitalized as cost of construction is insignificant.
As of March 31, 2023, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based awards was $40,565 and is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.47 years
Share option plan
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") approved the grant of 1,368,744 options to executives of the Company. The options allow for the purchase of common shares at a weighted average price of C$10.76, the market price of the underlying common shares at the date of grant. One-third of the options vest on each of December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The options may be exercised up to eight years following the date of grant.

(b)Redeemable non-controlling interest held by related party
Liberty Development Energy Solutions (note 6(a)), an equity investee of the Company, has a secured credit facility in the amount of $306,500 maturing on January 26, 2024. It is collateralized through a pledge of Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica”) ordinary shares. A collateral shortfall would occur if the net obligation as defined in the agreement would equal or exceed 50% of the market value of such Atlantica shares, in which case the lenders would have the right to sell Atlantica shares to eliminate the collateral shortfall. The Liberty Development Energy Solutions secured credit facility is repayable on demand if Atlantica ceases to be a public company or if certain other events are announced or completed that could restrict AY Holdings’ ability to sell or transfer its Atlantica ordinary shares. Liberty Development Energy Solutions has a preference share ownership in AY Holdings which AQN reflects as redeemable non-controlling interest held by related party. Redemption is not considered probable as of March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred non-controlling interest attributable to Liberty Development Energy Solutions of $6,050 (2022 - $2,575) and recorded distributions of $5,998 (2022 - $2,584).
(c)Non-controlling interest held by related party
Non-controlling interest held by related party represents an interest in a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, acquired by Atlantica Yield Energy Solutions Canada Inc. ("AYES Canada") in May 2019 for $96,752 (C$130,103) and an interest in Algonquin (AY Holdco) B.V., a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, acquired by Liberty Development JV Inc. in November 2021 for $39,376.

17.Basic and diluted net earnings per share
Basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated on the basis of net earnings attributable to the common shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of common shares and bonus deferral restricted share units outstanding. Diluted net earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares, additional shares issued subsequent to quarter-end under the dividend reinvestment plan, and, if dilutive, potential incremental common shares related to the convertible debentures or resulting from the application of the treasury stock method to the Green Equity Units (note 7) and the weighted average number of outstanding share options, PSUs, RSUs and DSUs outstanding during the period.
The reconciliation of the net earnings and the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
Three months ended March 31,
20232022
Net earnings attributable to shareholders of AQN$270,139 $90,965 
Series A preferred shares dividend1,148 1,218 
Series D preferred shares dividend944 1,002

Weighted average number of shares

Effect of dilutive securities2,454,187 3,697,479 
Diluted690,147,697 677,439,904 
This calculation of diluted shares excludes the potential impact of the Green Equity Units and 3,995,526 potential incremental shares that may become issuable pursuant to outstanding securities of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as they are antidilutive. This calculation of diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2022 excludes the potential impact of 1,134,711 securities, as they are antidilutive.
18.Segmented information
The Company is managed under two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The two business units are the two segments of the Company.
The Regulated Services Group, the Company's regulated operating unit, owns and operates a portfolio of electric, natural gas, water distribution and wastewater collection utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Renewable Energy Group, the Company's non-regulated operating unit, owns and operates a diversified portfolio of renewable and thermal electric generation assets in North America and internationally.
For purposes of evaluating the performance of the business units, the Company allocates the realized portion of any gains or losses on financial instruments to the specific business units. Dividend income from Atlantica and AYES Canada is included in the operations of the Renewable Energy Group, while interest income from San Antonio Water System is included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group. Equity method income and losses are included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group or Renewable Energy Group based on the nature of the activities of the investees. The change in value of investments carried at fair value, unrealized portion of any gains or losses on derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship and foreign exchange gains and losses are not considered in management’s evaluation of divisional performance and are therefore, allocated and reported under corporate.

19.Commitments and contingencies
(a)Contingencies
AQN and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business. Although such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider AQN’s exposure to such litigation to be material to these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Accruals for any contingencies related to these items are recorded in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements at the time it is concluded that their occurrence is probable and the related liability is estimable.
Mountain View fire
On November 17, 2020, a wildfire now known as the Mountain View Fire occurred in the territory of Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC ("Liberty CalPeco"). The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and CAL FIRE has not yet released its final report. There are currently 17 active lawsuits that name certain subsidiaries of the Company as defendants in connection with the Mountain View Fire, as well as one non-litigation claim brought by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking reimbursement for alleged fire suppression costs. Twelve lawsuits are brought by groups of individual plaintiffs alleging causes of action including negligence, inverse condemnation, nuisance, trespass, and violations of Cal. Pub. Util. Code 2106 and Cal. Health and Safety Code 13007 (one of these twelve lawsuits also alleges the wrongful death of an individual and various subrogation claims on behalf of insurance companies). In another lawsuit, County of Mono, Antelope Valley Fire Protection District, and Bridgeport Indian Colony allege similar causes of action and seek damages for fire suppression costs, law enforcement costs, property and infrastructure damage, and other costs. In four other lawsuits, insurance companies allege inverse condemnation and negligence and seek recovery of amounts paid and to be paid to their insureds. The likelihood of success in these lawsuits cannot be reasonably predicted. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company has wildfire liability insurance that is expected to apply up to applicable policy limits.
(b)Commitments
In addition to the commitments related to the development projects disclosed in note 6, the following significant commitments exist as of March 31, 2023.
AQN has outstanding purchase commitments for power purchases, natural gas supply and service agreements, service agreements, capital project commitments and land easements. Detailed below are estimates of future commitments under these arrangements:

The commitment amounts included in the table above are based on market prices as at March 31, 2023. However, the effects of purchased power unit cost adjustments are mitigated through a purchased power rate-adjustment mechanism.
(2)     Natural gas supply and service agreements: AQN’s gas distribution facilities and thermal generation facilities have commitments to purchase physical quantities of natural gas under contracts for purposes of load serving requirements and of generating power.

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as noted and per share amounts)
21.Financial instruments (continued)
(a)Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
The Company has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of the investment in Atlantica (level 1) is measured at the closing price on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
The fair value of development loans and other receivables (level 2) is determined using a discounted cash flow method, using estimated current market rates for similar instruments adjusted for estimated credit risk as determined by management. 
The Company’s level 1 fair value of long-term debt is measured at the closing price on the NYSE and the over-the-counter closing price. The Company’s level 2 fair value of long-term debt at fixed interest rates and Series C preferred shares has been determined using a discounted cash flow method and current interest rates. The Company's level 2 fair value of convertible debentures has been determined as the greater of their face value and the quoted value of AQN's common shares on a converted basis.
The Company’s level 2 fair value derivative instruments primarily consist of swaps, options, rights, subscription agreements and forward physical derivatives where market data for pricing inputs are observable. Level 2 pricing inputs are obtained from various market indices and utilize discounting based on quoted interest rate curves, which are observable in the marketplace.
The Company’s level 3 instruments consist of energy contracts for electricity sales, congestion revenue rights ("CRRs") and the Company's investment in AYES Canada. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of energy contracts are the internally developed forward market prices ranging from $15.73 to $90.46 with a weighted average of $39.54 as of March 31, 2023. The weighted average forward market prices are developed based on the quantity of energy expected to be sold monthly and the expected forward price during that month. The change in the fair value of the energy contracts is detailed in notes 21(b)(ii) and 21(b)(iv). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of CRRs are recent CRR auction prices ranging from $nil to $27.95 with a weighted average of $8.02 as of March 31, 2023. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's AYES Canada investment are the expected cash flows, the discount rates applied to these cash flows ranging from 7.72% to 8.22% with a weighted average of 8.04%, and the expected volatility of Atlantica's share price ranging from 26.99% to 34.89% as of March 31, 2023. Significant increases (decreases) in expected cash flows or increases (decreases) in discount rate in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
(b)Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are recognized on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting period.
(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the cash flow variability associated with the purchase price for a portion of future natural gas purchases associated with its regulated natural gas and electric service territories. The Company’s strategy is to minimize fluctuations in natural gas sale prices to regulated customers. The following are commodity volumes, in dekatherms, associated with the above derivative contracts:

21.Financial instruments (continued)
(b)Derivative instruments (continued)
(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting (continued)
The accounting for these derivative instruments is subject to guidance for rate regulated enterprises. Most of the gains or losses on the settlement of these contracts are included in the calculation of the fuel and commodity costs adjustments (note 5). As a result, the changes in fair value of these natural gas derivative contracts and their offsetting adjustment to regulatory assets and liabilities had no earnings impact.
(ii)Cash flow hedges
The Company has sought to reduce the price risk on the expected future sale of power generation at the Sandy Ridge, Senate, Minonk, and Sugar Creek Wind Facilities by entering into the following long-term energy derivative contracts.

The Company is party to two interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk that interest rates will increase over the life of certain term loan facilities. Under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts, the Company has fixed its interest rate expense on such term loan facilities. The fair value of the derivative on the designation date is amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the contract.
The Company is party to a forward-starting interest rate swap in order to reduce the interest rate risk related to the quarterly interest payments between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2029 on the $350,000 subordinated unsecured notes. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the pay-variable and receive-fixed interest rate swaps as a hedge of the future quarterly variable-rate interest payments associated with the subordinated unsecured notes.
In January 2022, the Company entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap, coterminous with the Canadian Notes, to effectively convert the C$400,000 Canadian Offering into U.S. dollars. The change in the carrying amount of the Canadian Notes due to changes in spot exchange rates is recognized each period in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations as loss (gain) on foreign exchange. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure related to cash flows for the interest and principal repayments on the Canadian Notes. An offsetting portion of the AOCI balance related to changes in fair value of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap attributable to changes in the spot exchange rates is also immediately reclassified into the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations as an offsetting (gain) loss on foreign exchange.

The Company expects $16,078 of unrealized losses currently in AOCI to be reclassified, net of taxes into non-regulated energy sales, investment loss, interest expense and derivative gains, within the next 12 months, as the underlying hedged transactions settle.
(iii)Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation
The functional currency of most of AQN's operations is the U.S. dollar. The Company designates obligations denominated in Canadian dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its Canadian investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency loss of $9 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (2022 - $175) was recorded in OCI.
On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap, coterminous with the subordinated unsecured notes, to effectively convert the $350,000 U.S.-dollar-denominated offering into Canadian dollars. The change in the carrying amount of the notes due to changes in spot exchange rates was recognized each period in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations as loss (gain) on foreign exchange. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure related to cash flows for the interest and principal repayments on the notes. Upon the change in functional currency of AQN to the U.S. dollar on January 1, 2020, this hedge was dedesignated. The Company redesignated this swap as a hedge of AQN's net investment in its Canadian subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. The fair value of the derivative on the redesignation date will be amortized over the remaining life of the original hedge. A foreign currency loss of $67 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, (2022 - $4,232) was recorded in OCI.

Canadian operations
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Canadian-based operations. AQN seeks to manage this risk primarily through the use of natural hedges by using Canadian long-term debt to finance its Canadian operations and a combination of foreign exchange forward contracts and spot purchases.
The Company’s Canadian operations are determined to have the Canadian dollar as their functional currency and are exposed to currency fluctuations from their U.S. dollar transactions. The Company designates obligations denominated in U.S. dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its U.S. investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency loss of $123 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, (2022 - loss of $395) was recorded in OCI.
The Company is party to C$300,000 fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps to effectively convert Canadian dollar debentures into U.S. dollars. In February 2022, the Company settled the related cross-currency swap related to its C$200,000 debenture that was repaid (note 7(d)). The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency interest rate swap and related short-term U.S. dollar payables created by the monthly accruals of the swap settlement as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in the Company’s U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap and the related foreign currency gains and losses on the U.S. dollar accruals that are designated as, and are effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A gain of $381 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (2022 - $2,053) was recorded in OCI.
The Company is party to a fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swap to effectively convert the C$400,000 Canadian-dollar-denominated debentures into U.S. dollars. The Renewable Energy Group designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency interest rate swap and related short-term U.S. dollar payables created by the monthly accruals of the swap settlement as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in the Company’s U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap and the related foreign currency gains and losses on the U.S. dollar accruals that are designated as, and are effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A gain of $12 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (2021 - loss of $5,812) was recorded in OCI.
Chilean operations
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Chilean-based operations. The Company's Chilean operations are determined to have the Chilean peso as their functional currency. Chilean long-term debt used to finance the operations is denominated in Chilean Unidad de Fomento.
(iv)Other derivatives and risk management
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risks that potentially impact its operating results. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks to the extent possible on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes. For derivatives that are not designated as hedges, the changes in the fair value are immediately recognized in earnings.
The Company seeks to mitigate the volatility of energy congestion charges at the ERCOT transmission grid by entering into CRRs, which as of March 31, 2023 had notional quantity of 919,014 MW-hours at prices ranging from $1.50 per MW-hr to $19.06 per MW-hr with a weighted average of $8.23 per MW-hr for April 2023 to April 2025. These CRRs are not designated as an accounting hedge.
